Hi all,

Anyone who knows me here knows I run a small foot/shoe site.
I won't post a link as I'm sure there's a rule against that.

Anyway, I get some strange requests from guys for custom shoots, but this latest one was pretty good. I just had to post it here!

This guy wants me to film and take photos of a girl dressed as a school girl stepping on giant roaches. He went into details about how she should yell and laugh at the bug, but without cursing as he wants to preserve her innocense.

How strange is that?

Any strange request stories out there?

Uh this isn't the one I'm doing is it? Lol. I have actually seen this done. Some guys have this weird thing with girls stepping on bugs and popping balloons like that too.

Yeah, thank god most of us aren't like that.. *SHHHH!!!!*  I mean can you imagine a world where everyone had different sexual interests?? *Not, now, frauline.. NEIN!  I'm talking heer!*  People really should keep stuff like that out of the public view.  *Frauline!  MISTRESS!  Put avay ze latex und ze lube!  People are vatching!*  It really makes you wonder...

Fetishes definately keep it interesting.

I find it fascinating how people develope these really strange fetishes.
Especially if they have deep pockets - LOL!

Well, as grossed out as I am by the concept I could actually see getting off on squashing bugs..  But only because I run a self-storage place and my apartment is above the storage (meaning, every so often some one leaves food downstairs or moves the furniture from a bug infested apartment and BOOM, I've got bugs..)

So yeah.. I could see deriving much sick joy from squishing bugs..

Except it grosses me out..

I once had a request from two women that I photograph them having sex with their dog.  I declined, insisting that the dog could not give informed consent.

A long time ago, in a small dive bar in Brooklyn NY, a very strange little man carrying a shopping bag full of oranges approached the bizarre. A buddy and I were sitting having a beer and the man made a strange request - he asked my friend to go out in the alley with him and throw the oranges at him while he masturbated. He offered $$$. My friend declined. He asked me, and I figured he must be gay, so I told him I threw like a girl... he left.

True story.

I have gotten a few interesting requests in my inbox at times.
I usally just reply with: "no thank you, I do not do private shows, I just model for photographers." or " no I will NOT teach you how to figure model if you are a male"

I saw this once on an episode of Ally McBeal... or maybe Boston Legal, can't remember... odd. Just make sure PeTA doesn't find out.

Yes, I've been asked to shoot models fully clothed for an entire shoot on several occasions. Perverts!

There was the guy that wanted me to dress all in tweed with big granny knickers underneath so he could do upskirts like that..?
The guy who wanted a photo of me licking a fish?
What about the guy who wanted nothing but close ups of my nose?

I had the strangest request on afternoon.  I had what seemed to be a Gay white Male walk into my studio and he requested that I shoot his Wife.  He told me that He chose me because I was a muscular Black male and that His wife liked Muscular Black men.  I found it kind of strange but nevertheless he handed me a deposit of $2500 and told me that he would pay me a total of $5000 for this job.  After awhile he began to explain this photoshoot and the real weirdness came out in him.  He said that he would like to hire at least 10 Black Male Models and he wanted all of them to have sex with this woman he called his wife, while he was hidden in the studio so that he could watch what was going on.  Come to find out he was somewhat famous or at least from a very distinguished OC family.  For a moment I considered going through with this mans sick ideas but after I took a deep breath and though about it I backed off.  I was more afraid of this being some kind of set-up (Remember the Duke LaCrosse team?) so I told him no.  He became very insistant he even offered me twice the money.  It was the weirdest shyt, I've ever experienced......
